Hot, muggy conditions and leg tiredness cut this morning's run short, but I'm not too upset about it. I've done plenty of running this last week and so a few kilometres left out for the sake of prudence isn't going to hurt.
Again I headed out dark and early (5 a.m.) with Chris, but our pace ... 6:31/km ... told the story of the conditions. Fairly brutal, to be honest. I wore my Sydney Marathon Finisher's t-shirt for the first time today and it was like a sweat suit. Awful! I must save it for cool weather runs in future.
So it was a battle, and although I had 16km planned, I opted to cut it short as I was really struggling. No harm done and I've still notched up 46kms in five days, so I'm hardly skiving off, especially as they've all been tough, hilly runs.
One more shortish run (10km) this week and then the 16 week program begins next Monday. Week 1 coincides with Christmas of course, so it will be "interesting" to see how I go.
